problem #1
when I dont have a full tank mostly...my car when I turn it on after just 2 minutes if parked the smell of gas is very bad especially when i have only 1/3 of a tank of gas or less. If at a stop at time I want to take off it chuggs and I have to pump on accelerator to get it going or it will turn off. occasionally if at a red light for two long when car is stoped it has turned off at time i try to accelerate to take off.

problem #2
I have lots of problems to turn the key on (at starter switch) I would like my husband to replace it but need instructions. HELP!

When this happens the fuel pressure regulator has gone out and needs to be replaced here is how in the diagrams below. Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.
